A Cultural Resource Survey of a 50-Acre Parcel Near Tucson, Arizona
Author(s): David B. Tucker
Year: 2004
Summary
On July 25 and 29, 2003, SWCA Environmental Consultants (SWCA) conducted a Class III cultural resource inventory of a 50-acre parcel of privately-owned land in anticipation of a planned housing development. The work was requested by Mr. Joe Heater and conducted under the authority and conditions of Arizona Antiquities Act Blanket Permit No. 2003-17bl. The survey was required in order to comply with Pima County regulations concerning cultural resources.
The project area was thoroughly examined, and three archaeological sites and one isolated occurrence were found. Two previously recorded sites were relocated, including the northern portion of a large Hohokam village called the West Branch Site (AZ AA:16:3 [ASM]) and a small artifact scatter at AZ AA:16:87 (ASM). In addition, a segment of an ephemeral historic road was recorded as AZ AA:16:465 (ASM). Lastly, a single isolated occurrence (10) was recorded. The West Branch Site has been shown to contain important archaeological information and is eligible to the National Register under Criterion D. Archaeological testing and, potentially, data recovery is recommended for a small portion of the site within the project area. The two remaining sites, AZ AA:16:87 (ASM) and AZ AA:16:465 (ASM) are recommended ineligible to the National Register and no further work is recommended.
